Earthquakes hit Tainan
Two magnitude about 3.5 earthquakes hit Tainan in 30 minutes last night! They were both shallow quakes and that's why I felt strongly. It was the first time I heard some noise sounded like thunder right before the earthquake. I'm still wondering the English name of the sound like that. In Chinese, we call it 地鳴 and it means that the earth is making a sound.

I agree with the corrections of Kathleen B with the following addition:
Two earthquakes with a magnitude of about 3.5, hit Tainan within 30 minutes of each other last night!
In my opinion, the addition of the phrase 'of each other' works better with your original word choice 'within' and provides a better description of events than changing the phrase to 'in'. Either correction is acceptable.
